Diagnosis:

Voice
This handout uses clear visuals and plain language to explain why voices sound breathy or weak with unilateral vocal fold paralysis, and what common medical and therapy options can (and can’t) change. Use it in therapy to validate the identity shift many people experience, support shared decision-making around interventions, and reframe voice therapy as adaptation rather than “fixing.”
